Proven egg quality and quantity supplements

We have been thru 3 fresh rounds of ivf and an fet. I have had a natural mc at 5 weeks and a D&C at 9 weeks because our little ones heart stopped beating. My DH would like me to try another fresh cycle. I was taking loads of supplements and doing acupuncture these last two fresh cycles. What are the best supplements to take both for quality and quantity?  Here is a list of the ones I've been taking. Some of them are for overall health...
N Acetyl cystine 2000
Queens delight (royal jelly)
Coq10 ubiquinol 200mg
Inositol 
Omega 3 dha 
X FLM K37
Metformin pcos
Neevo DHA prenatal
Folic acid 800mcg
Floridix iron supplement
Vitamin D drops

My acupuncturists isn't a believer in DHEA but has anyone had any great luck with it or anything else.
My DH is really wanting me to try another cycle. He's never asked me this before so I may if I can get a head start on these supplements. I will have a couple months to get them into my system since I have to wait for my lining to build back up nice and strong. Thank you for any help you can offer. We are desperate to have just one baby before we gave to call it quits. You can message me anytime or I will check back here.
Thank you so much for your help!!!

Ginger,
If the tissue is female I guess they are afraid that they got YOUR tissue instead of the embryo.  If the tissue is male then it is definitely an embryo and not yours.  Therefore, often times when they do genetic analysis (like cvs) and they ask for mother's genetic material to make sure that two samples are different.

Ok so this is a little off topic from the original question posted but since I do not know hardly anything about what the meanings of the genetic testing results I read a little. My understanding is that with most of the outcomes are an isolated occurance, is this correct?? If I had several MC's they wouldn't all be for the same reasons? And it was mentioned that if it was a female  embryo that chromosome analysis is not possible and they recommend genetic testing for the parent (which I have had and it was fine) so why cant they do a chromosome analysis on a female embryo?? And then like mentioned above we may it ever know why this happened.
So if a single persons MC can vary this greatly how the heck do you pin point the issues to correct the problem? I'm so confused!  


Oh and Ecologic I didn't mean to skip your post. I live about 3 hours from the Mexico border but no it wouldn't be something my husband would go for.  He only trusts this RE, we've been to so many places before we felt comfortable and so far he hasn't done us wrong, he's been successful with us twice, now I've got to stop loosing these precious babies.

I am glad, that stuff can have nasty side-effects.

Yeah we don't do the Lupron protocols. RE likes to do as close to a natural cycle as possible. I wouldn't want to do a Lupron protocol.

I understand how you feel, myfamily is the same way.

Don't let them stop you from achieving your dream though.

By the way, change in ivf protocol can make a difference in terms of quality / quantity you get per cycle.  I know that women who switched to protocols w/o Lupron got better results.
